Rodney Klein presents "So you want me to investigate what?" Investigating Workplace Discrimination

Your boss gives you a complaint to investigate.  It is an internal complaint of discrimination, and a lot is riding on your investigation.  Unfortunately, you are not a trained investigator - until now.  Learn from the EEOC the basics of investigating discrimination cases involving hiring and discipline.  At the April meeting you learn to identify the legal standards or proof, discover why practices are more important than policies, and learn the correct way to interview witnesses.  This session will give you the tools you need to complete your own investigations.       

Rodney Klein graduated from the University of Texas at San Antonio and was hired by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission as an Investigator in 1992. Mr. Klein investigated individual complaints of employment discrimination, along with large class and systemic cases.  He worked as a liaison between the EEOC and various fair employment practice agencies. And, he was the San Antonio Office’s Charge Receipt Supervisor, responsible for receiving and processing all incoming discrimination complaints. Currently, Mr. Klein is the Dallas District’s Outreach and Training Manager. He speaks to audiences about employment related matters, the civil rights statutes, and EEOC procedures, and he is a featured speaker at his office’s yearly training seminar for employers.
